What does 'OG' mean? I've seen it on quite a few imports here in the UK, so I don't think its reserved for RZ's.

I've just looked the wing up and it did come on the 98 spec JDM RB 'Bathurst' and RS models.

Here's what the interior looks like, not mine, but its exactly the same:

No, its a standard wing, from the 95-> JDM FD's. I like it much better than the early ones, with the twin mounts either side, but I don't mind the '99-> spec adjustable one. Prefer mine tho!
Yep, looks the same as my '97...

VERY sweet-looking car, BTW - congratulations!

I know I'm lucky!! Not got any mods planned in the near future, just put a boost and decent temperature gauge in, maybe a turbo timer. Its plenty quick enough for me at the moment!!
As for kills I keep seeing Boxsters when I'm out cruising and think to myself,hmmm, I could have you easy!! Not had any yet, awaiting my first kill!
Wait till its run in!!

Yeah, mines silver, I love it! Originally wanted something black to match the interior but I just had to have it when I saw it! Paid £400 for it (about $600 I think?). I used to have the 8100 in my Civic and loved that so had to have this!!

The car is BEAUTIFUL . I wish the US would let us have cool J-Spec cars like the RZ. But I think they know what would happen to the sells of the domestics here. Oh well.

Rich,

I'm curious how your car is viewed in England, the home of so many great sportscars. Do many people know what it is? Have you ever seen another FD on the road over there? What's the reaction of other sportscar owners, say people who drive Lotus Elises, or TVR's? Why did you go to all the trouble of importing an FD instead of one of the other cars available in your country
(a number of which are not available here in the USA)?

You could still get them, but they cost too much. For that kind on money you could go with...

kinesis, fikse, forgeline, hre, volk, mazdaspeed, etc etc
